I normally change my engine oil via the dipstick using the pump method. This has worked fine for the last year. I would like to do an engine oil flush but am worried that the engine flush will dislodge a lot of gunk that will block the pump. Is this likely. I do not have the facilities...

E300 TD W210 GEARBOX 1997 does this gearbox oil need changing or topping up periodically or is it sealed for life. Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any views on this tyre as it is about time that I replaced my rear tyres which are Goodyear NCT 5's (did about 25K) and I was very pleased with these but found them a bit hard compared with the conti's I had on previously. At only £ 66.10 from mytyres these PN 950 look value...

I have been seeing diesel coming from the fuel filler housing for some time but just thought that it was some fuel having spilt when I last filled up. But it appears that the fuel cap is leaking. I filled up yesterday (about 3/4 tank) in total and today saw that fuel had once again leaked...

I have just started to notice that I am getting a lot of what seems to be "liquid brake dust" or brake dust mixed with water all over the front and sides of my E300. This is the first time I've seen this in 5 years. I'm not talking about just a bit of dust on the wheels but on the windscreen...

I have had the "bulb failure" warning light on for a few days. I changed the rear offside brake light bulb which was not illuminating but this did not cure the problem. (the nearside is OK). I swapped the nearside brake light bulb and socket with the defective one and the problem still...

Probably a silly question but I cant work this one out. I am trying my first DIY oil and filter change. I got hold of the special oil filter removal tool from the stealership. My question is that I was expecting the tool to fit directly over the plastic filter housing and to remove the cap...

When braking at speeds of over 30MPH, the steering wheel wobbles alot. There is also wobble on the wheel at 50-70MPH. There also appears to be excess play on the offside front wheel. Any ideas appreciated
